Tailgate bike racks are a quick, easy and effective way to get your bikes wherever you are going. This type of rack is very easy to fit on the back of the car, or more precisely on the tailgate.

If your car was not built with a tailgate, choose a different type of rack, because forcing a rack to fit, or fitting it incorrectly, is not advisable. We recommend that you never force it: if the rack is not fitted correctly, you put your bikes, your car and even the lives of other road users at risk.

It is a good idea to clean the tailgate before you fit the rack. The rack's contact surfaces need to grip the car's rear window as firmly as possible.

Just as important, before you put the rack on the car, check its maximum load and make sure you stay within it. You will find it in Menabo's specifications for its tailgate racks. Why is it so important to stay within the maximum load?

Going over the stated limit could damage the tailgate and break the rack or your bikes, and in extreme cases an overloaded rack can even come off the car.

Also make sure your car is compatible with the rack you have chosen. As well as clips and rubber pads, tailgate racks usually come with a set of support straps, which you must attach to the car exactly as specified in the fitting instructions.

Many people assume that the way these racks attach to the car will not cope with the weight of the bikes. Menabo's tailgate bike racks, however, are TÜV and City Crash tested. These certifications are Menabo's assurance that your bikes will travel safely on the rack.

Tailgate bike racks are a quick and easy way to carry your bikes. They are also easy to store when you are not using them.
